Probably the cutest Kickstarter yet

What good is science if it doesn’t inspire the younger generations? Not much good at all, really, which is why this fourth grade class from North Carolina is positively joy-inducing.

Known as “Aaron’s Class” out of Durham, these kids are raising money to power their classroom with green energy.

They’re also learning how electricity and solar and wind power work. Now that they’ve raised over $3,500, each child in the classroom can build their own wind turbine along with using the new solar panels.

If you’re a little unclear of how solar energy works, Aaron’s class is more than happy to illustrate the basics:
